REPLENISHING AND RECOVERY
How do you replenish your body and mind between performances?
Recovery is essential for keeping my energy up, and I’m very intentional about it. I focus on hydrating, eating nourishing meals, and taking time to rest. I also do a lot of stretching to release tension, and make sure I get lots of movement. Mentally, I make space for reflection with journaling or just taking a few quiet moments to reset. Connecting with nature whenever I can, even just a walk or some fresh air, also helps clear my head. I’ve learned that recovery doesn’t just happen physically; it’s about nurturing your mind and soul too.
What advice would you give to other women in deman- ding professions about self-care during pregnancy?
My advice is to be unapologetically kind to your- self. Pregnancy is a lot of work on its own, and when you’re balancing it with a demanding career, it can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it all at once. Prioritize rest, listen to your body, and delegate when you can. Surround yourself with a strong support sys- tem and don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it. Most importantly, trust yourself, you’ve got the stren- gth to navigate both your career and your pregnancy. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula, so find what works for you and own it!
SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Have you leaned on any particular resources, tools, or individuals during this period? How has your team or family supported you in navigating these dual roles?
My main support has been my partner from day one, he’s been my rock. I’m actually so fortunate that we work together so in the last few months especially he has been on tour with me for each show and has su- pported me in every way. My team has also been in- credibly understanding and flexible, offering help with logistics, and always checking in to make sure I’m okay. Not to mention my family, and close friends. But overall I have really enjoyed embarking on this journey on my own, and building a strong connection to my growing baby, feeling and understanding every stage of the pregnancy and following my intuition.
